- Key Benefits Include
- Excellent adhesion and improved lubricity
- Co-firing in any atmosphere without oxidation
- Outstanding green strength
- Complete and clean burnout leaving less than 10 ppm ash residue, resulting in superb mechanical and/or electrical properties
- Low-temperature decomposition is excellent for thermally sensitive materials and is more efficient than other binders
- Products of combustion are only carbon dioxide & water
- Excellent viscosity properties in ink/paste systems
- Decomposition occurs in a wide range of atmospheres, including air, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, argon, and vacuum
- Range of molecular weights from 100,000 to 300,000
Applications & Uses
